Coarse river sand sourced from New Zealand’s mighty Waikato river, contains a high pumice content. Commonly used for a bedding support as a base underneath pavers. Spread and level off on top of your compacted base course (usually GAP7 in the Auckland region) but underneath your pavers or cobblestones. It’s lightweight properties make it very easy to spread.
Also used as a pipe bedding and sometimes used in tiling leveling applications.
Not really suitable as a sandpit sand as it is quite rough to the touch and does not hold its shape as well as other products when damp.
